In a major development for the communities of Dambatta and Makoda, the Minister of Transportation, Said Alkali, has approved the establishment of a railway station in Dambatta as part of the ongoing Kano-Maradi Rail project.
This was confirmed during a visit by a delegation representing the communities, led by former Managing Director of the Nigeria Ports Authority, Arch Aminu Dabo, to the Ministry of Transportation.
The delegation, which included Hon Hamisu Ibrahim Chidari, the member representing Dambatta/Makoda Federal Constituency, expressed gratitude to the Minister for considering the appeal made by Deputy Senate President, Barau JubrinCON, in support of the railway station in Dambatta.
Dabo said the approval of the railway station is a significant development that will greatly benefit the local communities and the region as a whole.

The inclusion of a railway station in Dambatta is expected to facilitate economic growth, improve access to transportation, and create new opportunities for trade and development in the area.
“The effort of Deputy Senate President Barau Jubrin CON in advocating for the railway station in Dambatta is instrumental in ensuring that the needs and aspirations of the local communities has demonstrated a commitment to representing the interests of his constituents and promoting essential infrastructure projects that will contribute to the overall development of the region”, he said.
